Now that the 2014 Edition Stage 2 Final Rule has been released, Dynamic Health IT has been hard at work designing and developing our new ConnectEHR product. ConnectEHR will be a web-based application with a number of supporting DLL's and Services which work with the application to deliver the functionality. This application will be tested for a number of the interoperability modules in Stage 2 of HITECH Certification.

Our challenge when designing this application was to develop a user-friendly, certifiable solution that could be easily integrated with our client’s systems to meet 2014 Edition Certification. It had to be compatible with EHR’s running on many different technology platforms. Also, DHIT wanted to ensure that the combination of base EHR plus ConnectEHR would provide a seamless user experience and not degrade workflow or require extraneous screens or keystrokes. We wanted to make sure that the combined EHR package would please end users as well as meeting HITECH requirements.

DHIT plans to certify ConnectEHR with an ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) after the first of the year.
